Copy and pasting using filters

Hi,

I have just upgraded to excel 2007 and I'm finding that when I filter down a table I cannot copy and past cells exclusively to the information shown, insteady the information pastes to the entire column whether hidden or not. Is there a setting that needs changing? Please advise.

Many thanks,

Tatiana.

RE: copy and pasting using filters

Hello Tatiana

Thank you for your question.

I think what would work is if you asked Excel to select only the visible cells in the range you select, then copy and paste as normal.

To do this:
Select the cell range you wish to copy. Press F5, then click Special, select Visible cells only, then click OK. Then copy and paste as normal.

I hope this helps.

Kind regards
Amanda

Excel tip:

Reconciling a list to correspond with another

May have a list that needs to make but on another sheet one list seems to be out, eg. product list one sheet contains all product and inventory data, while the other contains pricing data. Both need to match with all products but there is more products in one list than the other. To find the disparaging product compare data in the two columns that need to match Make sure that order the same way.
Create another column in the sheet that has the most items and type in the first cell

=Exact(text1,text2) text1 being the cell that you want compared with text2 cell reference. Drag to filldown and your first false will give you for first cells that does not match. Correct insert the row with data in other sheet and continue the process until all the data returns true. Delete the column inserted.
